Untold Story of Offshore Life: Tales from the Heart of an FPSO Vessel

Untold Story of Offshore Life: Tales from the Heart of an FPSO Vessel is a vivid, hilarious, and heartfelt journey into a world most people never see-the unpredictable, often absurd, and deeply human life aboard a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Through the eyes of a seasoned offshore worker, this book lifts the hatch on a community built not just on steel and engineering, but on grit, laughter, and the unbreakable bonds forged at sea.
Meet Harris, the eccentric Offshore Installation Manager who turns duct tape into an art form; Scutt, the so-called "Dumb" Superintendent whose logic defies gravity; and Leo, the wise Safety Officer who dispenses life lessons between toolbox talks. Each chapter dives into the personalities that breathe life into the machine-from quirky supervisors and homesick engine room staff to radio jokesters and elegant camp bosses.
Equal parts memoir, character study, and offshore comedy, Untold Story of Offshore Life is a tribute to those who live where the sky meets the sea. Whether you're a landlubber curious about life beyond the horizon or a veteran of the industry, this collection of true-to-life tales will leave you laughing, reflecting, and maybe even reaching for a life jacket.
Step aboard-and discover the soul of offshore.
